Abstract
A photodetection device comprises: an image sensor that includes first pixels, second pixels, third pixels, and fourth pixels; an interference element that includes first incident regions and second incident regions; and an optical system that causes light in a first wavelength band to be incident on the first incident regions and causes light in a second wavelength band different from the first wavelength band to be incident on the second incident regions. The interference element causes first interference of part of the light in the first wavelength band incident on two first incident regions that are included in the first incident regions. The interference element also causes second interference of part of the light in the second wavelength band incident on two second incident regions.
